Ryder EDI integration for carriers and customers
A guide for carriers tendered freight by Ryder and for companies using Ryder logistics services, covering EDI documents and onboarding.
Overview
Understanding Ryder integration
Who this is for: Motor carriers hauling freight managed by Ryder, and shippers using Ryder's transportation and supply chain services.
Ryder provides transportation management, warehousing and fleet services, and much of its transportation management work runs on EDI. When Ryder manages freight on behalf of its customers, it tenders loads to contracted carriers electronically. Carriers respond to tenders, report shipment status and submit freight invoices, all following Ryder's implementation guides.
For carriers, onboarding typically means becoming an approved Ryder carrier, engaging Ryder's EDI team to set up the trading partner relationship, and mapping documents to Ryder's guides. Third-party catalogs show many customer-specific Ryder channels, for example invoice-only channels for particular shippers, which reflects how Ryder manages freight for many different companies.
For shippers using Ryder's services, integration usually covers orders, shipment visibility and billing between the shipper's systems and Ryder. The documents and methods depend on the services in scope, so they are defined with Ryder during implementation.
